Ramsey's Twitter comments were not thought through

These days, we are suffering from untruth with every kind of conflagration, burning up the lines of media communication. These untruths begin to accumulate and the public either blocks or sleepwalks to get through it.

Individuals like Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey enjoy hearing and seeing the sound bites of his own words perpetuating the idea that anyone can be a legend in their own mind. Ramsey's rant connecting the president to al-Qaida "links of interest" demagogues the issue.

Either he doesn't understand or doesn't care to have the good political manners to not jostle the elbows of our highest officials while they are shooting pool in a high-stakes game where the lives of so many people are at stake.

Our best support, while we await the navigation of the treacherous waters, of the volatile regions involving Syria, Iran and Russia should be to let cooler heads prevail. The bluster of Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey is not that.
